Welcome to Ms. Wright's Pre-AP Chemistry!!
Hopefully, this site will bring you a better understanding of Chemistry. I have filled it with links to other awesome instructors, documents from friends, colleagues, myself and anywhere else I found something useful for you to use in your journey through chemistry.

Make Marbled Paper
**Bonus points to the students who figure out how this relates to chemistry. (have them submit their guesses on paper in the box on my desk.
- Spread a thin layer of shaving cream in the bottom of the pan. I used a spoon, but you can use a knife or spatula or your fingers. All you need is a shallow coating.
- Dot the surface of the shaving cream with food coloring or paint or pigment or whatever colorant you are using.
- Use your imagination to pattern the colors. I simply ran the tines of a fork through the colors in a wavy fashion. Don't get too enthusiastic swirling your colors or else they will run together.
- Lay your paper on top of the colored layer in the pan. I smoothed the paper out over the shaving cream.
- Remove the paper and either squeegee off the shaving cream (wiping between passes) or wipe the shaving cream off with a dry paper towel. If you do this carefully, none of your colors will run or be distorted.
- Allow your paper to dry. If it curls, you can iron it flat using low heat. I didn't have any problem with printer paper distorting.
